London - King Richard III will be laid to rest in a £1-million (about R15-million) raised tomb.

Leicester Cathedral, which will raise the money itself, said the design will be ready in September. Once the Cathedrals Fabric Commission for England approves it, the last Yorkist king will be re-interred next May.

However, the Plantagenet Alliance, a group of Richard’s relatives, has applied to the High Court for a judicial review into the plans for the site.
